Thanks once again everyone for all the great input. I really appreciate it. I'm still thinking about it but leaning towards taking the position. I owe to it myself to at least try it. I actually took a Meclizine today just to see if it made me sleepy and I really feel no different at all. I'll let you know the final decison, should know in the next day or two. Mandy RN CEN

Thank you everyone for the great input. I'm still thinking about it. I may give it a try and see. The unit I work in would be able to offer me my job back. Probably not the same shift ( I work WEO) but at least I know I have something to fall back on if it didn't work out. I'll let you know what I decide. EmergencyNrse-love the ambulance picture!!!

Hi everyone! I have applied and interviewed for ground transport nursing. The only concern I have is that I sometimes get motion sickness. I've been on transports and generally do OK if I ride in the front of the truck enroute to the patient. There is a chance we could start flying also and I've never been in a helicopter before so I have no idea how i'd do. Usually Dramamine works fairly well for me in the car. It is what I really want to do. I would hate for my motion sickness to keep me from doing it yet I do not want to be miserable in my job. Any thoughts or suggestions? TIA! Mandy RN CEN
